Teen pregnancy
... do you wish that you would have waited?” 67% said that they wished that they would have. Now these days it is not too hard to get the birth control pill or other kinds of contraceptives, so would you think that they would use them more. Well it dose show more girls are taking the pill, but it also showed that they would forget to take they or lose them. It is always good when you have people sexually active that just seem to forget their pill. If they are mature even to have sex that should be able to remember to take one pill a day. What did they do when they found out that they were pregnant? (This is for girls 19 and younger) 57% ended with birth, 29% in abortion, and 14% in miscarriage. Out of the ones that gave birth only 1% gave them up for adoption. Really lets think about it, if you don’t come from a richer family it will be so hard to give that baby all it needs. I don’t under stand when young mother keep their babies and then they can provide for them. When you keep a baby and are in the situation you are thinking about your self not the baby. If you were really thinking of the baby you would give it up for adoption so that it could have a nice upbringing with all the things that it needs. One half of teen mother go on welfare with in one year of having the baby, and they stay on it till the baby is 18 years old, and some times longer. Those child have a higher rate to have mental problems, birth defects, and a very high chance to be a lower than average student. That could be figured that when most teen mother get pregnant they under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It takes two to tango. I know it is not all the girls faul...
